Is Christianity Inherently Supportive Of Slavery And Misogyny?

[Huggy Bear]

Deuteronomy 34:7
"And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated."

Didn't know you were relying on a book of mythology for your demographic data. Even then, 5/12ths of your life, IF you live to be as old as Moses? You get a lighter sentence for murder in the first now days.

Cite chapter and verse.

Now all of the sudden chapter and verse isn't good enough.

The average life expectancy was just that, an AVERAGE. Things like infant mortality rates and war brought the average life expectancy, it doesn't mean that people didn't live past the age of 40.

Live I said earlier, POSSESSION does not mean PROPERTY.

If you let me borrow your PROPERTY, then I take your PROPERTY in my POSSESSION, therefore POSSESSION does not imply OWNERSHIP.

Hilarious watching you split hairs.

We're literally talking about 'law', is it also hilarious that there is a whole profession dedicated to studying and interpreting law?

What do you call a possession that you can buy, sell and inherit? Property.

Then by your logic, NFL players are also property, since they can be bought and sold (through trades) and, inherited...

'for ever' (two separate words) and 'forever' (one word) have two completely different definitions...

Really? What's the definition of "for ever"? Because in no definition I've ever heard does "ever" equal "fifty years".

Hebrew servants went free after 7 years, non-Hebrew went free after 50 (if your agreed to term of service lasted that long).

Forever dude. Or until death do them part.

So your just going to ignore the parts where it explicitly states:

"And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee."

"And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."

*emphasis mine*
The word "servant" isn't used in the narrative either so what's your point? MY point was you can't replace the word servant with slave as if they are the same thing.

That you can talk about slaves quite effectively without ever using the word and that the Bible does exactly that.

The bible made pretty clear what was happening to the Hebrews by stating that they had TASKMASTERS, their lives were made BITTER with HARD BONDAGE and RIGOROUS WORK and to top it off the Pharaoh was trying to kill their newborn children.

You guys whine about people being indentured servants but when asked to provide an alternative solution none are given beyond "help everyone for free"...

There is literally no currency other than ones labor at the time.

When poor Europeans wanted to immigrate to the US back in the day, they would offer to become indentured servants because they had no other way to pay for the fare. Since you guys consider it to be immoral, how would you handle it differently?
